Welcome to Litsy!

In issue 9 of this slice-of-life #manga about a couple of #gay men in Tokyo, Shiro turns 50 and several chapters touch on topics that have to do with aging. Kenji & Shiro spend New Year together in their own home for the first time, and the foods Shiro prepares for the occasion—like the shiruko sweet bean soup—were the most interesting in this volume. #translation #LGBT #comics

This is the first time (in 9 issues) that I‘ve seen Shiro use an otoshi buta, a drop-lid, in his cooking. It‘s a technique that conserves energy and maintains the structural integrity of ingredients, so I wonder why it isn‘t really known and used in Western cooking.
